## Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service

*Title:*                     Conditions for Payment of Avian Influenza Indemnity Claims.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0579-0440.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 8301*et seq.*) is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal health. The law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. The Secretary may also prohibit or restrict import or export of any animal or related material if necessary to prevent the spread of any livestock or poultry pest or disease. U.S. animal health policy calls for elimination of the avian influenza virus (both highly pathogenic and low pathogenicity strains) when found through depopulation (                    *i.e.,*                     euthanasia and disposal) of affected poultry. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) works with State and local animal health officials to euthanize poultry, clean and disinfect premises and equipment, and test for elimination of the virus to ensure that farms can be safely restocked.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     APHIS Veterinary Services assists State and local animal health officials and poultry producers with creating and applying biosecurity and response plans, developing and enforcing flock plans and compliance agreements, preparing and processing appraisal and indemnity claims and worksheets, developing restocking and testing agreements, and submitting reports.                

*Description of Respondents:*                     State and local animal health officials and poultry producers.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     18,950.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     48,714.
